About this listen
What if I told you we would have to eat eight oranges today to get the same amount of vitamin C our grandparents received from just one orange? It’s time to take your nutrition into your own hands and start growing your own rich, colourful, and sustainable garden.
Fruit and vegetables are picked when slightly unripe, sprayed with chemicals, waxed, boxed, stacked on pallets, and kept in a cold store for up to 12 months. So when you think you’re eating healthily and buying "fresh" food, you are possibly buying fruit that was picked over a year ago. Additionally, overseas shipping causes air pollution, affecting the health of humans, animals, and the environment.
But what if there was a way to grow nutritious fruits and vegetables right from your own backyard garden and lessen your dependence on corporations? And what if it was surprisingly achievable.
In The Self-Sufficient Garden, you’ll learn:
- The process of planning a garden even if you don’t live in an ideal climate, don’t have enough space, or have no money to spare.
- Different types of gardening, and their pros and cons.
- The importance of soil science and why healthier soil creates healthier people.
- The little-known basics of gardening, how to maximize your yields, extend your growing season, and set up an irrigation system.
- Organic pest control techniques to keep your plants safe and grow healthier crops.
- How to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and trees.
- The process of crop rotation and remineralization to further help the environment.
- How to start your own seeds, conserve natural resources, and make your own compost–all things that reduce your carbon footprint.
Plus much more.
Even if you’ve never made your hands dirty, don’t know how to hold a trowel, or only have a balcony, you can still create an abundant garden and make a difference.
You can grow your own food and start your self-sufficiency journey today!
